Tracking Environmental Change Using Lake Sediments

This volume of the "Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research" series deals with the major zoological indicators used in palaeolimnology. Other volumes deal with the acquisition and archiving of lake sediment cores, chronological techniques, large-scale basin analysis methods, physical and geochemical parameters and methods, terrestrial, algal and siliceous indicators and statistical and data handling methods. These monographs should provide sufficient detail and breadth to be useful handbooks for both seasoned practitioners as well as newcomers to the area of palaeolimnology. Although the chapters in these volumes target mainly lacustrine settings, many of the techniques described can also be readily applied to fluvial, glacial, marine, estuarine and peatland environments.
